Sometimes in a relationship, we can be so caught up in our feelings for the other person that we squeeze God into the background. It becomes a confusing, emotional mess and we wonder why God isn't giving us more direction, when all the while He is there waiting to be allowed back into first place in our hearts. Only when He is truly in first place are we ready for a God-written love story.

I can't help but wonder why we, as Christ professing young women so easily submit our minds and emotions to an industry that openly mocks the purity and righteousness of our Heavenly Prince.

Obediance, when it flows out of genuine love for Jesus Christ, is never wasted and never regretted.

God cannot honor anything, no matter its degree of sincerity, if it is contrary to His Word.

True feminine beauty is not a complicated formula involving hundreds of rules to remember. It is not something that requires spending two years at finishing school or being groomed as a beauty pageant queen. It is the natural byproduct of a young woman who has emptied herself, given up her own life, and allowed God's Spirit complete access to every dimension of her inner and outer life.

The goal in any God-centered relationship should be to continually point the other person towards Christ, not continually draw attention towards you.

The spectacular sparkle of set-apart femininity is found through absolute abandonment to the Author of all true beauty.
